"The Mystical Positivist," is dedicated to the application of reason in the pursuit of spiritual practice and development. I look to this format to be challenging and a bit controversial in that the New Age community tends to have an overly romantic picture of the gritty pursuit of spiritual transformation. My thesis is that rationality is in no way the antithesis of deep mystical experience, in fact, I assert that it is a necessary ally - hence the blog name "Mystical Positivist."

The Mystical Positivist - Radio Show #81 - 18AUG12

The Mystical Positivist is now a weekly radio show on KOWS-LP 107.3 FM, Occidental, CA. Listen live on Saturday evenings from 4:00 - 6:00pm, PST, via the web at KOWS Live Stream.

In the first hour of the program, hosts Stuart Goodnick and Rob Schmidt, discuss action in the world, the role of contemplation, whether one can simultaneously hold a space for both action and contemplation, and the role of silence in spiritual awakening. In the second hour of the program we listen to an audio version of a best-selling Russian book on transformation called Reality Transurfing: Vol. 1: The Space of Variations, by Vadim Zeland. In this book, the author presents a series of techniques of a mental and metaphysical nature. Zeland supports these techniques by presenting a model of the universe that combines the elements of quantum physics with the idea of parallel worlds.

"The Mystical Positivist" Radio Show

The Mystical Positivist is a weekly radio show on KOWS-LP FM 107.3 Occidental, CA, and on the web at KOWS-LP Live Feed, Saturdays from 4 - 6pm PST. Coming up on The Mystical Positivist:

February 10th: A pre-recorded conversation with Ocke de Boer about his new book Two Souls. His previous book is called Higher Being Bodies. Ocke de Boer is the engine of a Work-group in Holland which has been in existence since 1990. He studied esotericism in Amsterdam for 4 years at a Raja Yoga School for Universal Thinking, which is non-dualistic thinking. Mr. de Boer gained a general education in philosophy, religion and esoteric systems without getting lost in any of them. His center of gravity is in the Fourth Way, our Work, which he refuses to call the Gurdjieff Work. In his own words: “Gurdjieff was and is a very big guy in the Fourth Way, but he did not invent it.”
